Life In An Apocalypse

Chapter 4

*another pic of Jane and Nicole aka me and my not blood sister/bestie

Nicole's POV

We get closer and I see it. It's amazing! We keep walking and a woman with short hair let's us in. She looks friendly. I decided to in troduce myself.
" Hi I am Nicole. You look nice. Mat I ask what your name is?" I ask but in a whisper.
"It's okay and thank you. My name's Carol sweetheart." She said smiling.
"Okay so you will be staying in cell block C Jane and Nicole in a Cell together and Junior you will be in the same cell block sharing with Carl." Rick said. I wanted to be with my brother but I don't want cause trouble so I keep my mouth shut.
"What?!?! Dad! No way!" Carl said.
"To bad Carl! The only other way would be splitting them into different cell blocks! And Nicole looks like she won't go far from her brother so tuffen up! Now show them!" Carl walks away and we follow. My brother and his cell is upstairs at the very left end.
" Your sister and Jane will be at the other end" Carl said into the cell, I guess for Junior to know. He then walk Jane and I to the last cell on the right side. She goes in to unpack and I stay next to Carl.
" Thank you. I'm sorry about the situation." I whisper with my head down.
"It's okay, I guess." He replied. I nodded at him then went to the into the cell. He's pretty hot. Maybe we can be friends. I heard his footsteps fade away.

~ several hours later. Its now midnight. Everyone else is asleep~

(Still Nicole's POV)

I have been laying down looking at the ceiling for hours, like two or three. I am only thinking about one person. Junior. Is he okay? I have slept next to him for over a year. This is different and I'm scared. He slept next to me to protect me, now without him I can't sleep. He's all I have left besides Jane. Jane is strong but I don't know why I can't sleep. Is it because my brother and I have been sleeping shoulder-to-should for so long? Well, probably, but now I have to get over it.... Or I could go talk to him. Maybe even sleep with him.... I would wake him up probably. I might even wake Carl up... This is a bad idea. No I can't go through with this!
After about 20 more minutes I decide to jump of the bed and walk to his cell. I have the bear my Dad gave me in my arms. When I get to the entrance of the cell I see Carl sitting up against the wall on the top bunk. He is looking at me. I met his eyes. His eyes shift to the bear and at the same time mine shift to the bottom bunk, to my brother. I walk in and shake Junior awake.
"Junior," I pleaded hoping he will wake up.
"Nikki-bug, is that you? Can't sleep?" He said sleepily.
"Yes its me and no. I am scared. We always sleep next to each other." I realize Carl probably thinks I am a baby now, but I don't care!
"Oh. Sissy come to brother."
"I'm sorry to wake you." I lay next to him where we are shoulder-to-should.
"Just sleep." Minutes later I am out.

Carl's POV

I hop of the bed quietly because I don't know if they are asleep. I look over to see Nicole asleep and her brother watching her.
"I am about to get dress. You better not look." He closes his eyes and I change."OK you can look. What's wrong with Nicole? Why is she here?"
"We have slept shoulder-to-should for a while. She's all I have left. She has been sleeping with me since one night we got attacked by walkers. She is a heavy sleeper so she didn't wake up. She almost got bit. Luckily she was by a second exit and I picked her up and ran with her and we came back in the morning and gathered our stuff. So why are you dressed?"
"I have next shift in the guard tower. It will be soon. Right now Tyrease is out there. You going to bed?"
"Yeah after I carry her to her cell."
"Won't she wake up?"
"Nah, like I said she's a heavy sleeper. She's not to heavy. She should be okay."
"Here I got her you can go to bed. I will take her to her cell then leave for duty." I hope he lets me carry her. She is so beautiful. I can't let her in.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, Junior get some sleep I got her."
"Thanks man!"
"No problem." I reach for her and pick her up. I grab her bear and my flashlight. I start walking to her cell and I realize she is like 5'2" and I realize I am what 5'11". She is tiny. She's so cute though. I like holding her. I reach her cellband lay her down. I take her bear in my hands and inspect it with my flashlight. It is a cute bear. I walk to the tower. When i get there i start thinking...What if we got together... Does she even like me? Does she think I am cute? No! She doesn't even talk to you. Well she really doesn't talk to anyone so. Tomorrow will be hard on her. She will meet the Woodberry people. Plus some of our group she hasn't met yet. We are a pretty big group. Maybe she will like Beth... Or Patrick... Will she like him? Will she like him or me more? Will she like either of us? I have no clue! I try to think of other things but it goes right back to her! Do I really like her? Yes! Well, this is going to be a long night shift!
